~~~~~ The Little Things In Life
Every day of my life was recorded in your book… before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me O god.. Psalm 139:16-17
So many times it is the little things that drive us crazy. Big problems we can handle but the minor inconveniences of day to day life can get under our skin! It’s easy to get angry or frustrated when things go wrong: when we lose our car keys or hit every red light on the way to work, But sometimes, God uses the little things of our lives to place us right where He wants us to be.
After the tragedy on September 11, the head of security of the Twin Towers related amazing stories about those who should have been there that fateful day but weren’t all of their stories had to do with the “little things” of life.
One man was late because it was his turn to bring the doughnuts. One women’s alarm clock didn’t go off. One missed the bus. One spilled food on her clothes at the last minute adn had to take time to change. Anther’s car wouldn’t start. And one person couldn’t get a taxi.
Perhaps the most amazing was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning and headed in to work, only to developed a blister on his foot on the way. Because he stopped at a drugstore to buy a band-aid for his foot, he is alive today.
God is concerned about every detail of your life0even the little things! So the next time you get stuck in traffic- or even get a blister on your toe-remember that god continued to look out for you. Be thankful every day for the gift of life you have been given and for the wonderful, loving god who cares for you and guides your steps throughout the day. ~~~~~~
so many thoughts and emotions and .. road to travel after reading this. one that will be asked is ..
why those few and not all of them if god can do such things! why save 100 when a 1000 others will die!… i have no real answer only what i think is right and what the bible tells us.. with the garden we were given free will and we ate from the forbidden tree.. which gave us the knowledge of right and wrong.. then Satan was thrown from heaven for wanting to be above god. Satan reins on earth and is determined to take as many souls as he can from god. We people have the chose to follow him or refuse him but sadly even if you refuse him Satan can still use his people to hurt you. All because of free will, people chose to fly a plane into the twin towers and kill so many people. Yes god is great and could have with a thought halted the plane in mid air. could have emptied the building so no one was there.. but this is not the way he has allowed US his children to live. we have since the beginning done as we wanted and those that chose to do bad in the end can affect the lives of those who follow god, But that is not to say that god does not put his foot in and make other things happen to counter Satan…. like the people that were saved. the little things that diverted them just long enough to stay away from the danger.. and I’m sure they were cursing the whole way that they were going to be late and why does all the bad things happen to them! then… bam .. they realize that it didn’t happen to them but they were saved.. i pray that those that were “saved” from that realized that god guided them that day to protect them… i have no idea of everyone saved was already christian and and daily prayed for the lord to protect them and show them the path to walk .. or if so many Christians died that day.. we can not expect god to stop the bad that we ourselves have created here on earth.
Perhaps god had unfinished plans for those that he saved, They still have lives to touch.. lessons to learn.. they were unsaved but god knew that he could still reach there heart. i don’t know, this is the age old question and i know that it pains god to lose any child that is not saved in Christ because then they are lost to him forever.
It also make me stop and think about all the little inconvenient things that happen to me daily and how i fume over stuff.. and makes you actually appreciate it in THIS light.. how many times might you have been diverted from danger because you couldn’t find something? things did not go as planed and it took longer? there was a HUGE line at the store? … maybe your hitting every stop light gave you just enough time to miss that speeder who would have hit you? or the drunk swerving around? who knows! who knows how many things god STOPS every day with those little things. We can never know because they can not be reported but i know god is tracking this because he knows us and loves us. God dose, i think what we allow him to do for us. He reaches down and dose what he can with the choices we have made and those around us make. I do want to believe that if you live a godly life and follow him and pray and praise him daily and trust him to keep you safe he will, but at the end of the day we all still must die right? We don’t know when or why god allows our times to come but what i do know is those that follow him will find a much better place when he calls us home. This is not are home, it is were we visit and prove to god that we love him and want to be with him. He made us to love him, just as the angles are made to love him and watch over us.
god bless.
